Bengaluru, Dec 30 (UNI) KPCC President DK Shivakumar on Thursday said the BJP is committing a historic blunder by planning to bring a bill to free temples from government control and added his party will not allow it in Karnataka.
"They are doing a historic blunder. How can Muzrai (department) or government temples be given to local people for administration? It is the wealth of the government, the wealth of the treasury; crores of rupees are collected by these temples. What political stand are they trying to take looking at some other states. Karnataka will not allow it," he told reporters here.
On January 4, the party will take a stand on the issue during a meeting of senior Congress leaders, Shivakumar said.
